whereby the lamps are dirigible with the wheels, therefore he does not claim broadly any such construction. However, the inventor has devised a particular construction embodying U-shaped brackets, one for each knuckle joint, the lower arm of each U-shaped bracket being connected to move with a knuckle joint, the upper arm overlying the knuckle joint and having a socket opening arranged axially with the knuckle joint, and in which socket opening a shank,

rectangular in cross section, of the lamp,

In combination with theknuckle joints between the front axle and the front wheels of an automobile, brackets secured to thebody of the machine-and having cylindrical bearings, lamps having shanks provided with cylindrical parts mounted in said bearings swivelly, said shanks being arranged vertically and above and axially with the knuckle joints, U-shaped brackets, the lower arm of each being clamped to and movable with one of the knuckle joints, the other arm having a socket opening rectangular in cross section and arranged axially with the knuckle joint, each shank below its cylindrical part being elongated and rectangular in cross section and having a sliding fit in the rectangular socket opening,-'so that as the knuckle joint rocks, the shank and lamp will correspondingly rock, and a bar onnecting the forward portions of the U- shaped brackets.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
